WHAT KIND(S) OF MUSIC DO YOU ENJOY BEST? ANY FAVORITE PERFORMERS OR FAVORITE SONGS? AND WHY DO YOU LIKE THEM?

"I love old school, R&B, Neo Soul, Soca (a Caribbean style), and Reggae. I enjoy the beats and instrumentation, the groove and emotion, the stories told. Some of my music influences over the years have been Faith Evans, Chaka Khan, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu just to name a few."

TELL US HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING ON THE SHOW.

"I’m actually petrified! I have come a long way in terms of self confidence and shyness, but being camera shy is something that I’m still working on! I LOVE to sing and draw people in with my voice so I’m very excited to have this opportunity! I can’t wait to rock!"
